"Many children who walk through our doors are often shy, after a short time with us, they become some of the most confident children, shining with self-esteem. Each week, our dancers burst with excitement when it's time for their dance class, the smile on their faces says it all!" - Miss Eloise (PRINCIPAL OF ILLUMINATE DANCE)
